Shizuku – Sugimoto Reserve Shizuku Gyokuro Green Tea Shizuku, meaning “dewdrop,” reflects the essence of this exceptional gyokuro as it infuses into water—delicate, pure, and full of life. Grown and hand-picked in Yame, Fukuoka, this tea is a rare Dento Hon Gyokuro, a traditional and protected style of gyokuro with strict cultivation standards. To qualify, it must be grown naturally and shaded with traditional materials for at least 16 days—no shortcuts. Crafted from a blend of Oku Midori, Tsuyu Hikari, and Sae Midori cultivars, this gyokuro offers a lush rainforest aroma, deep umami, notes of sweet pea, and a rich, velvety mouthfeel. For the best experience, we recommend brewing with a high-quality Japanese kyusu teapot and following the steeping instructions below. This tea is built for multiple infusions and rewards care and attention.
